Private jet charter in Capri

A jet that leaves the London fields for Capri never touches the island, because Capri has no airport, and it lands at Naples about two and a half hours later. Private Jets UK plans every Capri charter in two parts, the jet to the mainland and the helicopter or boat across the water, and shows both parts in one offer. Our customers have access to 6,500 jets of all types and configurations available for rent. We will help you choose the best option based on your needs and objectives. Our catalog contains the models from the largest manufacturers: Gulfstream, Dassault, Embraer, Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier, Learjet, Cessna, Beechcraft, Pilatus, HondaJet, etc. We have established partnerships with the world's largest airlines and VIP terminals, which means we can offer you favourable flight conditions and a high level of service. Our experts will manage the organization of your flight - starting with paperwork, agreements, etc., and ending with a transfer and meeting at the airport. Our company provides a full range of business aviation and concierge services. The island has a heliport and a harbour but no runway of any length, so the airport question is really a question about which stretch of the Campanian coast suits your hotel, your luggage and your tolerance for a choppy sea.

At your request, the aviation consultants of Private Jets UK will help you choose the jet with the suitable technical parameters (production year, flight hours, and home base). The cost of the private jet charter in Capri depends on many factors, such as the model of the business jet, the number of passengers, departure and destination airports, type of flight, duration of parking, additional services, etc. Therefore, we calculate the price of each order individually taking into account your wishes. You can use an online calculator to get an instant charter quote. Please indicate your real contact details to get the final calculation.

You can calculate the cost of your flight in several ways:

• using an online calculator on the website (however, it shows only the approximate price);
• via Messenger (WhatsApp or Telegram);
• by landline or cell phone;
• via e-mail (jets@private-jets.co.uk).

Please note that the above-mentioned price is indicative only. It is calculated on this basis: a departure from Biggin Hill, a Cessna Citation CJ3+ and two passengers aboard. If you want to get a personal quote, just fill out the online booking form below. Our aviation consultant will make the calculation within 20 minutes, and then contact you to specify the details of the flight.

How long does it take to fly to Capri?

Two and a half hours from Biggin Hill or London City in a light jet to Naples, about two and three-quarter hours from Manchester and Leeds, and three hours from Edinburgh or Glasgow, plus a clock change of one hour on arrival because Italy keeps Central European time. At 895 to 1,208 nautical miles from the British fields we use, Naples is a long light-jet sector and the point at which a midsize cabin starts to earn its price. Remember that these times end on the mainland: the helicopter or the boat to the island comes on top. The table gives the sector from each field.

Prices for the private jet flights to Capri

Typical trips from Britain, cheapest first, all of them into Naples Capodichino, the usual gateway for Capri. The helicopter or boat across to the island is priced separately. July, August and the weeks around the New Year sit above these figures, and the calendar block further down explains when.

We can arrange the flights from any cities in the UK (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) and European countries. Due to a large database of available business jets, we can help you find an optimal jet and crew. If you have any questions about the departure or the flight itself, you can ask them using the form below:

Private jet flights from Capri

Capri is a hub for nothing and a departure point for very little by air: the aircraft waits on the mainland, and a charter that starts on the island begins with a helicopter or a boat to Naples or Salerno. Rome and the Amalfi Coast are short sectors, Venice and the south of France are business-length hops, and the long legs run to Vienna, Munich, Paris and the Gulf. The sectors below are priced from Naples, where the jet is. Typical one-way prices:

Prices depending on the type of business jet

We can clearly show the high dependence of the cost of the flight, on the type of aircraft - we have collected approximate data, at the price of 1 flight hour, for various types of business jets:

The cost per hour indicated in the table is preliminary and does not constitute an offer or a commercial offer. Exact prices are available from the managers of the company.

Online Calculator

If you want to make an urgent calculation of the cost of a private plane flight, use our online calculator. Just fill in all the fields of the form with a note that you are interested in a specific model of the aircraft and get the final price. NB! - the figures are sent to you by email or messenger, please carefully fill in the contact details to get the calculation.

All our calculations are as transparent as possible for you. After receiving the request, we will prepare a beautiful offer - where the costs and the final price will be clearly described. The exact price is agreed in advance and is written in the contract, so you can be sure of the final cost.

Private jets are ready to take off

Our database contains over 6,500 business jets (about 3,500 in Europe and 3,000 in the rest of the world) of different configurations and production years. The list of models is constantly updated. Unfortunately, we can't post a full list of available jets on our website due to confidentiality issues. Please contact the managers of the company for more accurate information. We will help you choose a suitable model taking into account your wishes. These are the typical choices for Capri:

This is a small part of what is available. Naples sits in the middle of the southern Italian fleet, so for a booking outside the July and August peak there is usually an aircraft within an hour of Capodichino, in Rome, in Sicily or in northern Italy, and that is often where the better price comes from. For the helicopter leg, the number of machines is far smaller than for jets and we book it first.

Business aviation airports for Capri

Capri itself has one landing place and it is not an airport. The mainland fields below are where a jet lands, and the harbours are where the last part of the journey begins.

Four points settle most Capri arrivals:

Landing permits, the Schengen border and the way home

A private flight into Italy needs permission before it needs a runway. For a non-EU operator, which since Brexit includes every British one, ENAC authorises non-scheduled flights and checks insurance and safety, and the operator must hold an EASA third-country operator authorisation. Taxi flights, meaning aircraft with fewer than 20 passenger seats, can use a blanket permit that covers Italian airports open to civil traffic for a stated period, and an airport outside it needs its own request, made at least three working days ahead. Charter requests for larger aircraft are filed at least six working days ahead. We file these through the operator and say plainly when a date is too close to be safe.

For the flight home, the General Aviation Report for Britain is filed not earlier than 48 hours and not later than 2 hours before departure, and any passenger who needs an Electronic Travel Authorisation for the UK must hold it before boarding. British and Irish citizens are exempt. The handler at Naples who arranged the arrival files the paperwork for the departure. Remember the helicopter or boat leg in the schedule: the passengers have to be at Capodichino for the departure slot, not at the pier.

From the apron to Marina Grande and the Piazzetta

Capri is a small island, about ten square kilometres, split between the towns of Capri and Anacapri, and nearly everything on it is within a taxi ride of a pier or a heliport. The distances that matter are the ones across the water, and the table gives them from the point where the jet lands.

Flying to Capri with a dog or a cat

Italy asks for more paperwork than the flight takes time, and the sector from Britain is short enough for most dogs to sleep through it. The animal normally sits beside you in the cabin. The two details that go wrong are the date on the health certificate, which is valid for only ten days for entry to the EU, and the last stretch to the island, where each carrier sets its own rules.

What Italy asks for when a pet arrives from Britain:

• An ISO microchip, fitted before the rabies vaccination or at the same time. If the order is reversed, the vaccination does not count;
• A rabies vaccination given when the animal was at least 12 weeks old, with 21 days elapsed before the animal travels;
• An Animal Health Certificate for each trip, signed by an Official Veterinarian and valid for ten days for entry to the EU. A British pet passport cannot be used to enter the EU;
• No more than five animals per traveller, presented at a designated point of entry. We confirm in writing whether the Naples gateway is on Italy's list of entry points for your date;
• For dogs, a tapeworm treatment from a vet between 24 and 120 hours before arrival back in Britain, recorded on the paperwork. Cats are exempt.

Requirements for cats, ferrets, birds and anything less usual are collected on our flying with pets guide. For the entry point and the paperwork on the way home, we confirm both in writing before the flight, and our managers check the position for your dates before a booking is taken.

The Capri calendar: an island that opens at Easter

Capri keeps a strict season. Most hotels, restaurants and attractions close from late October to around Easter, and the island fills from the spring into the autumn, with the sharpest peak in July and August. Knowing which week you want matters more than choosing an aircraft.

Ways to bring the Capri price down

• Move the dates out of July and August where you can. May, June and September are warmer and quieter than they sound, and the helicopter is easier to find;
• Compare the gateways. On the same light jet from Biggin Hill, Fiumicino is priced about £1,200 lower than Naples and Ciampino about £1,100 lower, while Salerno comes out about £350 higher. The saving is real only if you are happy to take the longer helicopter flight from Rome, so let the place you are sleeping decide;
• Take the light jet unless the luggage says otherwise. Four people with soft bags do not need a midsize, and the money saved buys the helicopter.

Types of flights

Capri produces a different mix from the cities we cover, because people go there for the water and the view, not for meetings. Almost everything is leisure, and almost everything is a combination of a jet, a helicopter and a boat.

• Villa and hotel weekends, flown out on a Thursday or Friday and back on the Sunday, often with a helicopter to the island so that the afternoon is not lost to a ferry queue;
• Yacht trips and sailing around the Bay of Naples, joining a boat at Capri, Sorrento or Naples with soft bags and a fixed date;
• Film festival, regatta and event travel, from the Easter reopening to the winter festival;
• Amalfi Coast itineraries, flying to Naples or Salerno and finishing by boat to Positano or Amalfi in the season;
• Day excursions on the mainland to Pompeii, about 8 km from Vesuvius, and to Herculaneum, which lies under the modern town of Ercolano, and by boat to Ischia, the other island of the bay;
• Combined trips with Rome, flown to Rome and finished by helicopter in about an hour.

A same-day return from Britain is possible but long. The flight alone is two and a half hours each way, the helicopter or boat adds another hour at each end, and the aircraft and crew wait for you on the ground at Naples, which is paid for. A short stay is therefore usually planned as two separate one-way flights, or as an overnight, and we quote both ways so the difference is visible.

Empty Legs

An empty leg is a repositioning flight with nobody aboard, offered at a fraction of the usual price. On the Naples route they come from the rhythm of the season rather than from sheer volume, and it helps to know what produces them.

Because the corridor is thinner in winter than in the peak, a client who can name a few days rather than one has a far better chance than one who needs a particular evening. What you give up is the usual: the operator owns the date and the hour, and a leg can vanish when the original booking moves. Whatever is free is listed on our empty legs page, and we flag a Naples match the day an operator releases it.

Helicopter charter

On Capri a helicopter is not an extra but the one aircraft that actually lands on the island. It beats the hydrofoil on time and on weather, and loses to the boat on price, on capacity and on luggage. The routes that matter are Naples to the Anacapri heliport, Rome to the island, and Salerno or the Amalfi Coast to Capri.

The local operator flies Airbus Ecureuil-family helicopters, the type sold as the H125, for island and coastal work; where a wider cabin or a twin is wanted we look at the H130, the H135 and the Bell 429. We book them alongside the jet so that both crews work to one timetable. For a published price anchor, a local operator quotes a Capri transfer from about £1,600 for a group of up to six.

Flight payment options

If you need to book an urgent flight, please keep in mind that the bank transfer can take a few days. In such situations, we may need to involve our partner companies so that you can pay for your flight in cash. If you have any questions, you can contact your personal consultant 24/7.
